Er wurde am 15. April 1936 geboren und starb am 12. Oktober 1999 in Helena, Ar- kansas. Er war der letzte große Bluesmusiker auf den SUN- und PHILLIPS INTERNATIONAL-Labels, und er hatte es verdient! In den An- fangstagen seiner Karriere hatte er mit Sonny Boy Williamson und Robert Nighthawk gearbeitet, und er spielte mit Sam Carr, Nighthawks Sohn, und dem Gitarristen Big Jack Johnson. Die Band wurde nach Sams Vater benannt. Doch schon bald nach dem regionalen Erfolg des gleichnamigen Songs auf der LP nannten sie sich die Jelly Roll Kings. Später machte Frost Aufnahmen für JEWEL RECORDS und tauchte in der Bluesdokumentation 'Deep Blues' und dem Kultfilm 'Crossroads' auf. Zusammen mit Carr und Johnson spielte er viele Jahre lang Blues in den eigenen Juke Joints. Frost bezeichnete seine Musik als "modernen Blues mit Tief- gang". Sein Lieblingsspruch lautete: "Den Blues wird's ewig geben." TITELLISTUNG Side A Side B 1. Everything's Alright 1. Big Boss Man 2. Lucky To Be Living 2. Jack's Jump 3. Jelly Roll King 3.

  • Another Biscuit Miracle by Richard Ledbetter
    Another Biscuit Miracle By Richard Ledbetter Following a quarter century attending a thirty-four-year old festival, there are certain givens I expect each year. By mid-morning Thursday the week before Columbus Day (Oct. 10 this year), the streets of downtown Helena begin filling with throngs of Blues lovers from across the globe. Folding chairs in tow, each makes his or her way to claim their respective seat for the King Biscuit Blues Festival. Some come for the duration, camping in tents or trailers while some just come for a day. Some enjoy the local hotels and restaurants while others partake of festival fare or campfire cooking. Some come from the country, more still from the city, young and old, North and South. Some know the history of the Blues while others just know they love it. But they all come for one thing, the music. The Sterling Billingsly Band kicked off four music filled days and nights with Wednesday’s Michael Burke’s Memorial Blues Jam. Thursday night’s Main Stage headliner Ruby Foster sharing the spotlight with a large Gospel choir, left no one disappointed. One dependable aspect of the annual event is how you can often count on some degree of rain over the course of the weekend. In years past torrential downpours turned the outdoor event into a “Mud” fest. Gratefully, in 2019, predicted showers arrived after Thursday night’s performances and cleared out Friday before most acts began again. The moderate precipitation made campgrounds a little slick but otherwise served to settle the dust and take temps from shorts to long-john conditions.

  • Why You Don't Want to Miss It
    WHY YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS IT KING BISCUIT BLUES FESTIVAL OVERVIEW: Presented in the fertile birthplace of Delta blues on the banks of the Mississippi River on land where cotton is king and the blues artists sing, The Biscuit this year fills in the threads between the never to be forgotten legacy of native sons Sonny Boy Williamson and James Cotton with an unparalleled lineup that’s the best of the best from the past, present and future of the blues. WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT 2017: This year’s line-up is the sweet spot that presents the blues in all its permutations: Saturday’s headliner Gov’t Mule is a fundamental link between the blues fathers and their contemporary sons and daughters, while Thursday’s headliner Tab Benoit (“the voice of the wetlands”) is the standard bearer of a new generation of Cajun blues musicians. Beyond that, you have the blend of performers like Sonny Burgess, who rubbed shoulders with Elvis Presley in Arkansas clubs at the birth of rock and roll and Bob Margolin, Muddy Waters’ guitarist fresh off The Last Waltz 40th an- niversary tour. You have Paul Thorn who stole the show from B.B. King in 2010 and C.W. Gatlin, who played with Sam Carr and Helena’s own Frank Frost who brings a sense of true blues history with him. Add to that another four dozen performers, plus the opportunity to discover up-and-coming talent on the Rising Biscuit stage and from some of the grittiest busker street performances you’ll find anywhere.
